Therefore, the author would have been more accurate if he stated “Quicklook is a feature of OS X 10.5.x”, and indicated that he is writing about only about OS X 10.5.x features.

I find ColorCode to have a couple of small but annoying problems: First, it doesn’t word wrap. The QuickLook interface just isn’t designed well for horizontal scrolling. That’s not such a big deal, because you’re just “quicklooking” in most cases, and in most kinds of source code keeping lines discrete is important (but the ColorCode folks could fix that by combining word wrap with the use of visible line numbers).

However, it’s compounded by the second problem (which admittedly, I’ve only seen on my machine): ColorCode appears to take over the use of plain text from whatever built-in QL plugin handles them normally (i.e. files with a txt extension, in addition to those that correspond to code formats). It’s not helpful at all to only see the 40 or so characters of a long paragraph, and I usually wind up opening txt files in an editor even after viewing them with QuickLook.

Some qlgenerators I’d like to see:

- I’d love to find one that functions like Suspicious Package, but works on bundles in general (.app folders, iPhoto library, etc.)

- The Folder qlgenerator would be a lot more useful if it could drill down into subfolders with disclosure triangles or something. Does a competitor exist?
